The Syracuse Chiefs are offering a special pre-season edition of Soap Opera Saturday.

The team's Ladies of Summer are gearing up for an event March 9 in Alliance Bank Stadium's Hank Sauer Room. It will feature actors Dominic Zamprogna and Jason Thompson from ABC’s General Hospital.

The promotion began in 2006 as a way to get women out to the baseball field. Wendy Shoen, Director of Community Relations and merchandise for the Chiefs, decided to pair her love of the game with another favorite for women, soap operas.

Soap Opera Saturday offers two options. A $100 ticket gains entry to a meet and greet
reception with Zamprogna and Thompson at 5 p.m.. with a full buffet dinner with dessert.

The $140 tickets offer the meet-and-greet dinner plus an exclusive VIP cocktail hour with the stars beginning at 4 p.m.
